Question
I am a female who works in an environment of mixed men and women. Is my income halaal?
Answer
The position of Islam is very clear. A female is not allowed to leave home and work even in her own city. It is the obligation of your father to support you. Your occupation is not permissible since you are exposed to the world outside the home. Your income is contaminated and shorn of barkat since it is being earned in a haraam manner.
